NECKWEAR-FRAM E.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 668,403, dated February19, 1901.

Application filed December 8. 1900. Serial No. 39,194. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J AOOB H. FLEISOH, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Neckwear-Frames, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to a frame upon which neckwear may be securelyfastened by means of the neckbands in such position as to hold thearticle againstinj ury or displacement during shipment and to display itwhen on sale and also in such a manner as to prevent injury to thearticle, as results from retaining means sometimes employed.

One feature of my invention consists in a light metallic frame havingsuitable longitudinal bars at the ends and also at intermediate points,if more than one row or series of articles is to be held, from whichlongitudinal bars rise peculiarly-formed supportingstuds with hookedends, which prevent accidental displacement of the article, prevent thearticle moving upward in the box, and also protect the article fromanythingthat may be placed upon the framesuch, for instance, as anotherpacking-box or other frames of goods.

Another feature of my invention consists in providing the frame withmeans for holding it in one end of a box to prevent movement of theneckwear in shipment, such means preferably consisting ofvertically-extending arms having hooked ends which engage over the edgeof the box and prevent longitudinal movement of the frame. The frame ispreferably made to fit the box transversely.

My invention will be fully understood upon reference to the accompanyingdrawings, in

which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the frame with the articlesapplied to one side thereof and the frame located in the box. Thearticles are omitted from the other side for clearness. Fig. 2 is aperspective view of the frame, and Fig. 3 is a detail view showing onemode of constructing the frame.

1 represents a box such as is ordinarily used for inclosing neckwear orother articles, and 2 is a frame which fits transversely within said boxand is provided with retainingarms 3, formed with hooks 4, that engageover the edge of one end of the box to prevent longitudinal movement ofthe frame in the box. The frame is formed with transverse bars 5 6 andlongitudinal bars '7 8. From the longitudinal bars rise supporting-studs 9, preferably inclined toward the top of the frame. Thesemay be three or more in number, according to convenience and the numberof articles that it is desired to mount upon them. It is convenient tohave two intermediate longitudinal bars 8, so that the articles may bestretched between the studs 9 on these intermediate longitudinal barsand those projecting from the end bars '7. The studs 9 have hooked ends10, extending substantially parallel to the top of the box. These servethe threefold purpose of preventing displacement of the neckbands orother portions through which the articles are secured thereon, ofpreventing the frame moving upward in the box, and of preventinganything which is placed on the top of the frame-such, for instance, asanother frame--from coming in contact with the goods supported on thestuds.

A frame constructed as above described is readily removable from the boxfor the purpose of hanging it or suspending it in a position to displaythe goods. It is, moreover, cheap in construction, very light anddurable, and very convenient for use. The longitudinal bars of the framemay be made of a double-wire construction, as suggested in Fig. 3, inwhich lower strand 11 is continuous and passes around the bars 5 and 6,is then folded upon itself and bent up, as shown, and then back upon thebottom strand to form the studs 9 with their hooked ends 10. Thesecuring-arms 3 may be soldered or otherwise secured to the top bar 5,as may be convenient.

Having thus described my invention, the following is what I claim as newtherein. and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A packing and display frame for supporting neckwear and other likearticles by the neckbands thereof, comprising a supporting-base formedby transverse bars and longitudinal bars connected with the transversebars, and pairs of supporting-studs projecting upwardly from the base,the studs of each pair being carried by the respective longitudinal barsof the frame and spaced apart to adapt the studs to distend theneckbands, the said studs being provided with enlargements or hooks atthe ends to prevent displacement of the neckband therefrom.

2. A frame for supporting neckwear by the neckbands thereof, comprisinga flat rectangular base having pairs of supporting-studs on two parallelmembers of the frame and extending upwardly from the plane of the baseand formed with hooked or deflected ends extending in parallel planeswhereby they pre vent displacement of the neckbands of the articleexhibited but permit ready removal thereof as explained.

3. A display-frame constructed of a flat rectangular base havingtransverse and longitudinal bars of which the longitudinal bars areformed of double thicknessand have the upper thickness deflectedupwardly from the plane of the base, then deflected at an angle, thendownwardly to the plane of the base to form supporting-studs with hookedends; the studs thus formed being located in pairs on parallel membersof the base and thereby 25 adapted to stretch the neckbands of neckwearor the like between them.

4:. A display-frame for supporting neckwear or the like by the neckbandsthereof, comprising a rectangular frame with intermediate lon- 3ogitudinal cross-bars, the side members as well as the intermediatelongitudinal cross-bars being arranged parallel and each formed ofdouble thickness of material and having its upper thickness deflected atcorresponding 35 JACOB H.
